First Answer:

Sadly, you can't.

Second Answer:

Actually, most disc drives are backwards compatible to the last disc. So, DVD drives can read/write to CD and Blu-ray drives can read/write DVD and CDRs.

It does not work the other way around. You can't read/write to a DVD if the drive is marked as a CD drive.
